[color=844E7A]"I'm sorry about putting that question on the test. I wasn't thinking about you when I made that paper, but that question was based on him, yes. Facing him was...the first time in my life that'd I had ever been truly terrified. If you have specific questions, I'll be to answer them directly, but if not, i'll just tell you about him. His name is Kensai. He's a very fearsome and skilled serial killer. He was like the original Stain, though he didn't have an agenda that I know of and was just trying to prove his strength, or increase it. Or both. When I was a foolish little girl of nineteen, trying to prove myself just as much as he was, I stole...something of great value, that he wanted, and he pursued me relentlessly until my fear was greater than my pride and I left the sword behind and fled. Kensai is the sole reason I decided that the ability to sneak wasn't enough and I also needed to train in combat and dodging."[/color] [@Norschtalen]
